Train Derailments, Freeway Collapses, and Biblical Floods: The Dark History of U.S. Infrastructure

im a recent civil engineer and hearing these kind of conversations makes my brain ache. the short cuts taken these days to quickly produce infrastructure is sickening. as fast as they are getting built, another is crumbling. thank you for bringing awareness to this national issue !

Ooo the graphics, the opener, the new set, WE SEE YOU BAILEY. Keep educating the masses!

My dad just died 5 days ago and binging your videos seem to help burry away my horribly sad thoughts. Thank you for being here. ❤️❤️❤️

Ask a Mortician on YouTube did a deep dive on the St. Francis Dam Disaster. It was so heartbreaking. It's also one of my biggest fears. I love Dark History Bailey.❤❤❤

I’m a plumber for the union and I can say from personal experience a lot of us are over worked and under paid so people don’t always care as much as they should. But the contractors are also inlove with cutting as many corners as possible! I see things daily that should be done differently! I recently finished an apartment complex that was already bowing on the first floor, before drywall even went up, because the weight wasn’t properly supported. Just too many people running these companies who don’t care because “I don’t have to live here.” Also Bailey I love you!! You make my break at work enjoyable and I’ve learned so much!

Jeez, this just happened in Libya, 2 dams broke 1 after another, and around 30,000 are dead n 40,000 misplaced! They were asleep as well! N it was estimated to be 12 stories high! A lot of the bodies flowed into the ocean! That's crazy!

Great job Bailey. Just one little correction. The train in East Palestine did not explode upon derailment. It was set ablaze on purpose because the government officials thought that was a better way to dispose of the deadly chemicals rather than risk moving them. If that sounds like it doesn't make sense, that's because it doesn't. Look into the government's ability to steal land once it's been poisoned, then look into 15 minute or Smart cities. Then it will make sense.

Speaking of infrastructure failures, I think it would be interesting to hear a dark history episode about the failing water delivery system specifically. For example, it's been over a decade, and Flint, MI is still suffering from their poisoned water crisis

I live in Austintown, Ohio (just over 25 miles outside of East Palestine. After the train derailment in febuary, anyone within a 30 mile radius of East Palestine was told to avoid their water due to the spill caused by the accident. Even from all the way out here, many people, including my mom, experienced adverse health affects in the following days (headaches, nausea, etc.) and the people we know in East Palestine and close to the train tracks were told it was better to evacuate their homes after the derailment for the coming days/weeks. To this day, the community is still dealing with the aftermath of what happened. It didn’t get nearly enough media coverage, and caused a lot of issues within the community. Thank you for sharing the story!!

Honestly I could listen to Bailey talk all day and not get tired of her. She is always educating me on something! It’s awesome.

It would be cool to hear about the corporate greed involved in the funeral industry and how mom and pop funeral homes are gobbled up by big entities like SCI and the Loewen group. They prey on people in their time of grief in the worst possible way.

You are my favorite creator on YouTube. I’ve been a follower since you were about six months old on here. I was so excited when you announced you would be doing dark history, and I listen to a lot of them on Spotify podcast. Thank you for all your hard work Bailey, you are amazing. I would love to meet you one day.😻💖💜🖤💗💜🖤😻

Love the new set! hearing history from you Bailey is not boring and we can learn a lot. Ps: I like Pauls outfit today😂

I miss MM&MM but it's always great to get a dose of Bailey Sarian every once a week. ❤🎉

I work in infrastructure IT doing various things for a lot of different clients, I can’t say much about because I love my Job and don’t want to get fired, but I just want to say, thank you for doing this Bailey. This is 100% an issue that needs to be addressed heavily to get fixed. Maybe someone in charge will see this and realize it’s a huge issue. The state where I live had a sinkhole open up on or extremely close to the interstate which obviously needed emergency repairs causing both of the interstate lanes going that direction to be shut down. The DOT had to reroute people through a different road and from what I understand it was super unsafe causing a multi vehicle crash in which people died. People lost their lives because someone didn’t intervene before it got that bad. No one should lose their life because they were traveling. My condolences to the families and people affected by these problems in our nation’s infrastructure.

The 35w bridge collapse in Minneapolis still haunts me to this day

working, eating a breakfast sandwich & listening to my favorite history teacher what a life ❤

Absolutely adore you Bailey. If I had one person in the world I could meet (and possibly indulge in the devils lettuce), you'd be it gal! Sending so much love from New Zealand.

Friends. I got my days so mixed up this week. I thought Bailey missed a Thursday upload and I almost called LAPD for a wellness check 😅

ALWAYS love dark history! Would love to see one on the dark history of pirates! Could you imagine how cute Joan would look in a lil eye patch 😂❤
